Cancer Institute

Tampa General Hospital’s Cancer Institute is nationally recognized for world-class care that is revolutionizing cancer treatment, and is one of Florida's few cancer centers backed by academic medicine. The TGH Cancer Institute is in the Top 10% of Hospitals in the Nation for cancer care by U.S. News & World Report 2023-24 and is named one of America's Best Cancer Hospitals by Newsweek.  

As a national and global leader in cancer care, TGH is accredited by the Commission on Cancer (CoC), a quality program established by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). With this accreditation, TGH’s Cancer Institute is recognized for meeting 34 quality care standards, taking a multidisciplinary approach to delivering high-quality, patient-centered cancer care, and demonstrating a commitment to improving patient outcomes and quality of life for all cancer patients.

TGH also serves as home to world-renowned cancer surgeons who have decades of surgical experience and are active in cutting-edge clinical trials. This gives our patients access to state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and therapies not available at other cancer hospitals.

In addition, our Cancer Institute works with the Cancer Center of South Florida to provide the same groundbreaking, personalized care that patients enjoy in the Tampa Bay area to patients in South Florida.
